BitchX Tip

I've recently taken to using BitchX as my preferred linux IRC client (OK, my only linux IRC client). As I access my linux server remotely via ssh/putty, and typically only use IRC to DCC/CTCP files, I don't really want to keep a terminal open just for this. So after entering my CTCP request, I enter "/detach" at the BitchX prompt. This "closes" BitchX, allowing me to carry on with other stuff, but leaves BitchX running in the background (which is essential for ensuring the download completes). Of course, this is similar to using "CTRL-Z, bg", but even that causes BitchX to pause for a moment.
